Securing a CI/CD pipeline

The Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipeline is a set of procedures that software developers follow in order to work on smaller chunks of code and increase overall productivity and efficiency. Its goal is to expose errors as early as possible in the process, allowing for faster failures. Developers typically activate CI processes by pushing code changes. Linting, testing, and building are all processes in the pipeline that validate the modifications. Typically, a CI pipeline produces an artifact that may be deployed later in the deployment process. The CI/CD pipeline is the DevOps processes’ foundational infrastructure. It is critical to secure the CI/CD pipeline at every step to ensure that the applications, services, and data in the cloud are secure and protected.
